Default Lowering spring question

Does anyone sell just the rears? I just finished my Moser install, and with the stock springs, it sits up pretty high. I kind of like the stock heighth (don't know why, part of it has to do with the crappy roads here in Arkansas), so I don't really want to drop the front. Just need to drop the rear. Thanks!

I dont see why you couldnt get half a coil off the rear springs. It might be kind of riggin' it, but I seen ppl do it, It works.

take the rear spacer out, and put 5/8" heater hose around the top coil (or at least halfway around it). about 1/2" drop.

Do what he said.^

I had the same set up 2 years ago and the car had a nice ride, you would still think that the isolators were still there.

Thanks for the replies. I cut one full coil off (360*) and reinstalled them with the cups. Looks stock again. Actually that's what I'm going after, stock look, hella fast.
